Sara = 17 Sterling Pounds

Mark = 51 Sterling Pounds

Caroline = 34 Sterling Pounds

The amount Caroline gets = 17 x 2 = 34 Sterling Pounds

Given ratio - 1:3:2

so, let the amount received by

1. Sara be 1 X
2. Mark be 3 X
3. Caroline be 2 X

Total amount = €102

According to problem

1X + 3X + 2X = 102

6X = 102

X = 102/6

X = 17

so therefore the value of X is 17

hence,

Amount received by

1. Sara = 1x = 1(17) = 17
2. Mark = 3X = 3(17) = 51
3. Caroline = 2X = 2(17)= 34

{ verification:

The amount received by Sara + Mark + Caroline = 102

17 + 51 + 34 = 102

102 = 102

L.H.S = R.H.S

hence verified your answer.}
